_ [Em] _ _ This is [Dm] the day of the [G] [F] expanding man.
[D] _ _
_ [Em] That _ shape is [Dm] my shape, there where [G] I used [E] to stand. _ _
_ [G] _ [C] _ _ It [B] seems like only [Am] yesterday I [C] gazed through the [Gm]
glass
[E] at ramblers, [B] wild gamblers [Dm] that come [E] in the [B] past. _
[G] _ _ [Em] _ _ Call [Dm] me a fool, you [Gm] say [G] it's a [Cm] crazy scheme. _
_ _ [Em] _ _ This once [Dm] for real, [Gm] I [G] already bought [F#m] the dream. _
_ _ [Em] _ [C] _ So useless [Fm] to ask me why, [Am] throw a kiss [A#] and say goodbye.
[E] _ [C] _ I'll make it this time, _ [F#] _ I'm ready to cross [C] that line.

all [Em] night long.

[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ My back [Dm] to the wall, a victim [G] of [Dm] laughing jam.
_ [D] _ [G] This _ _ [F] is for me, the [G] essence of [E] true romance.
[D] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[G] Sharing the things we [C] know and love with those of my [G#] _ kind.
[E] _ Libation, _
_ [B] sensation, _ [F] that [E] staggers the mind.
[B] _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ I crawl [D] like a viper through [G] these suburban [D#] streets.
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Em] _ Make love [Dm] to these women, _ [Bm] languid and _ [F#m]
bittersweet.
_ _ _ [Em] _ [C] I'll rise [Fm] when the sun goes [Am] down, cover [A#] every game town.
[C] _ _
A world of my own, _ _ [F#] _
I'll make it [C] my home sweet home.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [Dm] is the night of [D] the [G] expanding land.
I [A] _ [Em] _ _
take [Dm] one last drag as [G] I [F#m] approach the stand.
_ _ [Em] _ [C] _
I cried [D] when I wrote this [Am] song, sue me if [A#] I played [E] along.
